About Me
As a mathematics graduate who has discovered a deep passion for design, I seamlessly blend analytical skills with creative expression. With a certificate in UI/UX, I’ve turned my love for numbers into a drive for creating visually appealing and user-friendly experiences. I specialize in web, logo, print, and brand design, bringing a unique blend of analytical precision and creative flair to every project. I’m always eager to learn new things and thrive in collaborative environments, where I can work with teams to bring ideas to life. Let’s connect and create something amazing together!

Don't Take My Word For It
In the 3 years I worked with Payton, I found her ability to complete tasks with little or no instruction and take initiative on projects to be remarkable. Her attention to detail and follow through are also strong, remarkable attributes. She works extremely well independently and requires little or no supervision.

Payton did phenomenal in the creation of her interface designs and applied consistency in her layout by utilizing patterns that provided solutions and intuitiveness. She applied breakpoints in all of her designs and learned to create deliverables that included styled guides with asset libraries and exported elements for development. She has a very special spark and I trust she will go far in making awesome UI designs.
